Public bug reported: Ubuntu 8.10
Had no problems with Intrepid at first, but then login wasn't possible anymore. After entering username and password in the gnome login-gui, nothing happend and I got the username prompt again. Same problem in the terminal. After entering username and password, I got again the login prompt. There was no message like 'login incorrect', just the prompt again. I solved the problem by editing the files /etc/pam.d/common-auth and /etc/pam.d/common-password: Old /etc/pam.d/common-auth (I'm not 100% sure about this): auth [succes=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth requisite pam_dey.so auth required pam_permit.so auth optional pam_smbpass.so migrate New /etc/pam.d/common-auth: auth [succes=1 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure auth requisite pam_dey.so auth required pam_permit.so #auth optional pam_smbpass.so migrate Old /etc/pam.d/common-password (again, not 100% sure about that): password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_uni.so obscure sha512 password requisite pam_deny.so password required pam_permit.so password optional pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok use_first_pass New /etc/pam.d/common-password: password [success=1 default=ignore] pam_uni.so obscure sha512 password requisite pam_deny.so password required pam_permit.so #password optional pam_smbpass.so nullok use_authtok use_first_pass ** Affects: pam (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- login impossible, no error message https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292791 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
